Some Xmassy atmosphere topic

I'm interested what do you eat?

Well, I am from Poland, so:

The tradition is to make 12 dishes

Borsch -> Simple soup made from beet's, the most traditional dish for everyone in Poland i guess, usually with kind of dumpling -> "uszka" in polish > they are filled with stuffing of mushrooms.



Carp -> usually in jelly with flakes of carrot.


Dumplings -> Simple with white cheese, (called "Ruskie") or with mushrooms and cabbage <- more popular ones for christmas (but usually there are 2 kinds)

That mades the basic ones, then people make one of the many dishes connected to christmas like:

Dumplings made from cabbage with rice and meat inside -> something called "Gołąbki" (gołąbki means pigeons, but no, they arent made from these birds)

Many Cakes

poppy-seed cake (most traditional)


Kutia (i cant translate it)
made from: wheat, poppy, honey, delicacies, nutts...its like a substance but its made only in i don't know like... 1/4 of families....


honey-cake
apple-pie
cheesecake

Fried Fish - mainly Carp
compote
dried fruits

for next days of christmas
> usually some kind of meat to cook
> baked pie made from meat ("pasztet" in polish")
> whatever you like i guess

My family is half traditional, so beside making Borsch and Carp I'll make some sushi and we will cook some Salmon fish and we do eat "Hungarian Cake" < very chocolate and decorative cake.

I think I just heard Usagi say, "fooooooooooood."

Probably what most Americans eat for Thanksgiving

(which means if I visit Kris in November I get two annual turkey dinners!)

So meat, roast spuds, peas, carrots, califlower, bacon strips, sausage, bread sauce, stuffing, thick gravy... very nice. With pudding and mince pies for afters...

Way too much!

Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, various fruit salad concoctions, biskets / rolls, green bean casserol, corn, green beans w/mushrooms, etc.....

I wanted to make a turkey, but mom bought a duck...

Actually, this year we made Tuscan Ragu which was a change, and VERY good!

Here's the recipe:

Basically a pasta and sausage dish with a lot of good healthy ingredients added in.

Well this year it was roast beef, potatoes, rolls, green beans, cranberry sauce and HOMEMADE applesauce.

Sounds nice

The Duck wasnt that bad, my mom added apples to it, so it tasted quite good...quite good ^^

I deep fried two turkeys this Christmas, three on thanksgiving. They always come out so tasty.
